Tire Size recommendation.
Hi, I need some tire size recommendations. I got some wheels and these are the widths and offsets of the wheels. I would like to run as much of a square setup as possible. What tire sizes would you guys recommend for me not to rub at all? This will be a daily driver as well so i don't want the headache of rubbing. I listed the pros and cons of each setup. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Car is lowered on Eibach Sport Springs. 19x10.5 +8 Rears 19x9.5 +19 Fronts Options 1 Limited tire brands in the front and might also cause rubbing? 255/30/19 for the front (not many brands make this tire size only Michelin SS, RE-11s, AD08s) 275/30/19 rears Option 2 In my opinion the most ideal setup but fronts may rub since it is too wide. 265/30/19 Fronts 275/30/19s Rears Option 3 I'm afraid this setup will not be ideal for handling and balance of the car 245/35/19 275/30/19 |

Take a look at this thread:
http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=522139 I recommend 275/30/19 in the front - but you will need to remove the camber pins and add negative camber for them to look right. Who sold you et8 rear wheels? That offset seriously limits your tire options. I don't know what tire size will work without rubbing... I guess you could try 275/30 or 275/35. No matter what you do that wheel width / offset will look ridiculous.

OK. I personally think a 19 x 10.5" wheel looks and works great with a 295/30 tire. It would be a great match for 275's in the front on 9.5" wheels. The problem you have is that your offset is about 20mm too low to fit a 295 in the rear without rubbing like crazy.

Sounds like wheels that really weren't meant for an M3.

Wheels were meant for show and not a track or functional guy.

My 295's were rubbing on eibach springs with 10.5 et22 rear wheels. There is no way he will fit 295's on et8 wheels without ripping his fenders off.

Scroll down the page and there is a white e90 on LMs will very aggressive offsets on 295 rears. http://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php...&Submit=Submit The rears that he is trying to fit will be 3mm closer to the fender than the setup w/ LMs. So in that case I would run a 275/285 rear to be safe. Of course you are prolly gonna have to dail in some rear neg camber. I suggested coilovers for those aggressive offsets bc car generally looks akward when it is slightly lowered and has aggressive fitment. To fit your rear wheels you are gonna need a combination of stretched tires and custom alignment. |
